PLATINUM Country star Tyler Braden and collaborator Kaitlin Butts “MIGHT BE DANGEROUS” in the thrilling music video for their new single. Launching with an exclusive premiere hosted by YouTube, the viewing continued with an Official Afterparty where fans participated in an online Q&A with Braden. Watch the video here.
Filmed in Nashville, TN with director Marisa Taylor and producer Jasmine January, the clip nods to classic (yet clearly toxic) run-and-gun big-screen romances in the spirit of Bonnie and Clyde. It doesn’t waste anytime cutting right to the chase as Braden and Butts sprint through the woods away from an unseen threat. The two hole up in a remote cabin, light candles, and serenade one another, bringing the song’s core conversation to the forefront in the process. “MIGHT BE DANGEROUS” unabashedly embodies the kind of fiery romance you can’t turn away from. It also arrives as Braden’s most arresting music video to date.
The song adorns his debut full-length album devil and a prayer (Warner Music Nashville) that just dropped last Friday - listen here. Already making waves, MusicRow spoke to him in-depth and professed, “With devil and a prayer, Braden isn’t just releasing an album, he’s inviting fans into his world. And it’s one worth stepping into.” Stage Right Secrets raved, “Whether you’re a long-time fan or just discovering his sound, this album is an invitation to feel, reflect, and raise a glass to the road that made you. Tyler Braden is officially on the map—and he’s just getting started.” Entertainment Focus stated, “Sequenced like a concert and written with a sharp ear for both modern struggles and timeless themes, this record is a confident step into the spotlight from an artist who refuses to be boxed in.” Adding to the acclaim, the album was featured on GRAMMY.com, HITS, BrooklynVegan, Whiskey Riff, and more.
Surging across streaming platforms, Braden claimed coveted real estate on marquee Spotify playlists such as New Music Friday, Hot Country, Big Country, New Boots, and All New Country as well as Amazon Music playlists including Brand New Music, Fresh Country, plus Apple Music’s New in Country, Pandora’s New Country and Country Grit, and many more.
Underscored by his undeniable hybrid of Country and Rock, devil and a prayer threads together a creative and personal vision for Braden. To bring this body of work to life, the powerhouse riser collaborated with an elite cohort of likeminded creatives like producers Sam Martinez, Daniel Agee, Jaren Johnston, Austin Nivarel, and Rian Ball, and co-writers Rhett Akins, Sasha Alex Sloan, Jaren Johnston, Jon Decious, Devin Dawson, Will Bundy, Graham Barham, and more.
Braden will be on the road for the better part of the year performing across the country with many festival stops including the Riverfront Stage at CMA Fest (6/7). Recently wrapping his run on Warren Zeiders’ THE RELAPSE TOUR, he’ll join Darius Rucker in Canada this October. Check out Braden’s full tour schedule here.
